1952 GARDEN BOOK 
REETINGS! Another year has rolled around again and it is our 
great privilege to present to you our 1952 Garden Book. Here we 
have listed and described what we believe to be the best Seeds, 
Bulbs, Plants, Horticultural, Poultry and Pet Supplies which it is pos- 
sible to obtain, and we have tried to include as much information as possi- 
ble to aid you in using our materials. We have spent many years in 
getting together all of this information, and we hope that you will not 
only use this book in ordering our goods but will find it a valuable refer- 
ence work. Please remember that our motto is ‘‘Punctuality, Sterling 
Quality, Courteous Treatment,” and we intend to live up to it. 
Our seeds are tested by approved and modern methods, and no in- 
ferior seed is knowingly sent to our customers. In spite of this, failures 
will occur, usually from some cause beyond our control, and while we 
will do everything in our power to assist our customers, we must advise 
that our seeds are sold under the following usual non-warranty: ‘“‘The 
Meyer Seed Company gives no warranty, express or implied, as to the 
productiveness of any seeds or bulbs it sells and will not be in any way 
responsible for the crop. Our liability, in al instances, is limited to the 
purchase price of the seed.”’ 
CUSTOMERS PLEASE NOTE

“The maintenance of prices in these unsettled times is a serious 
problem for anyone publishing a catalog. 
“‘For instance, should you send an order for some item in this catalog 
on which the published price is no longer correct, we will notify you of 
the new price and make shipment only after receiving an OK from you.”’ 
We aim to give our customers the best service possible. If we make 
an error, tell us about it and we'll make it right. If there is any 
information you want in our line of business, write us (if you can’t 
call), and we shall be glad to give it careful attention. Our various 
departments are in charge of experts who are able to answer intel- 
ligently almost all inquiries pertaining to horticulture, agriculture, 
poultry, and pet stock. Always write inquiries on a sheet separate
